Thanks for the ideas, I hadn't even thought of where to store valuables. Luckily, I only need 6 ft total of countertop, so I'm hoping to find a decent deal at lowes or home depot. I don't think there's a habitat store around anywhere. So far I've spent about 60 bucks on paint. Everything else has been wood I already had, or recycled from the original tear down. Things I'll have to buy are tires, counter tops, upholstery, maybe flooring if the original doesn't clean up well, and a plug for the trailer lights. Everything else will be out of want, rather than necessity.
Yeah I'm going to block that off with some screen and plywood. If I do put a fridge back in, it will be 110v only. I have a couple 5 day coolers for boondock camping, which have served me quite well in the past. I'm hoping that I can find a dorm fridge I can store, and only put in the camper when I need it, but I'm not sure I can find one that will fit through the door of the camper.
Whatever you do try your best to stay away from RV retail suppliers and stores. You will pay out the butt for RV parts and stuff. Walmart carries some RV supplies you might need like the trailer light plug. Also check Amazon and Ebay.
